FitLyfe launches “Doing Good by Being Well” Campaign, donating 10% of subscription fees for setting up company-wide fitness challenges to the World Pediatric Project
Schaumburg, IL – December 13, 2016 – ‘Tis the season for charitable giving, particularly among companies that look for ways of supporting “pet” causes at this time of year, both as an expression of good corporate citizenship and as a healthy way of promoting company values, culture and team building. It’s also the time of year when people start thinking of making changes in the year ahead, with improved diet and fitness usually at the head of the list. Charitable giving and employee wellness may seem unrelated, but FitLyfe’s “Doing Good by Being Well” campaign brings them together on their automated Health and Wellness Platform.
The FitLyfe platform includes a “Challenge” module that makes it easy for administrators to configure company-wide competitions. FitLyfe charges a subscription fee for each challenge and will donate 10% of each subscription to the World Pediatric Project, an organization committed to bringing life-saving medical care to children with nowhere else to turn. FitLyfe is a SaaS platform that gives organizations the ability to consolidate all their health and wellness initiatives, tools and resources. It embeds a proprietary Clinical Intelligence (CI) analytics and automation engine that proactively delivers targeted and personalized “health paths” to each user based on their own data.
How the Fitness Challenge Works:
- Customizable Challenge Themes: Pick from one of our many themes such as Tour the U.S. or Spring into Fitness. These can be customized to your company.
- The Challenge can connect to a variety of fitness devices, including Fitbit, Garmin, Jawbone, Microsoft Band and Misfit.
- Foster Competition between Teams: a leader board and real-time reports enable administrators to see how the challenge and challenge participants are performing.
- Designed for the Enterprise: challenges can be configured to involve employees at multiple locations, mobile workers, down to individual business units.
- The challenge includes a social hub that enables company executives to engage and interact with challenge participants.
- Weekly Health Tips & Images: “context sensitive” tips from FitLyfe’s health experts can be pushed out to motivate and inform challenge participants.
- FitLyfe donates 10% of the subscription fee to the World Pediatric Project.
“Company-wide health challenges can be effective in motivating people to be more proactive in making positive behavior, even life changes,” said Sam Salbi, CEO of FitLyfe. “It’s more fun and gets the competitive juices flowing -- but as we’ve found in helping companies develop wellness and population health strategies, tying these challenges to a charity of choice makes it more meaningful, particularly this time of the season. And few charities do more meaningful work than the World Pediatric Project, who heal critically ill children and build healthcare capacity around the globe. We’re delighted to be able to support their mission while promoting good health and fitness.”
FitLyfe is 100% vendor-agnostic and provides unlimited access to the best-of-breed vendor services (biometric screening, care coordination, outcome based tracking, coaching, weight management, etc.). This gives organizations ultimate flexibility to customize their design and continuously align it with the ever-changing needs and utilization habits of the user population. FitLyfe 360 gives organizations an affordable wellness program that can be continuously refined via real-time participation reports for each program which show organizations what is working and what is not.
While FitLyfe donates to the World Pediatric Project by default, companies can inquire about choosing another charity for a donation. For more, visit https://www.gofitlyfe.com/FitnessChallenge.htm.

About the World Pediatric Project
World Pediatric Project exists to link worldwide pediatric surgical, diagnostic and preventative resources to heal critically ill children in developing countries who lack access to such lifesaving medical care. Recent statistics indicate that 9 out of 10 people in developing countries needing basic surgical care do not receive it. This results in more deaths than from malaria, TB and HIV/AIDs combined. (Lancet Commission on Global Surgery, 2030 Report).
World Pediatric Project deploys 45-50 pediatric specialist surgery teams each year reaches 2-3,000 children with advanced care otherwise unavailable to them. This includes most every pediatric sub-specialty from heart and brain surgery to orthopedic, urology, plastic surgery and general surgery. For more, visit https://www.worldpediatricproject.org/
